Gilmore Replies, Lessig Comments, Finkelstein bites back
posted by mpawlo on Sunday August 03, @04:27AM
from the trolls-everywhere dept.
News Mr John Gilmore and Professor Lawrence Lessig have issued replies to the debate on Mr John Gilmore's flight-stunt. Mr John Gilmore was rejected from a flight because Mr Gilmore wore a badge saying “Suspected Terrorist”. Should the flight captain have ejected Mr Gilmore because of the button or not? The discussion has been heated, not least since Mr Seth Finkelstein suggested that Mr Gilmore's behaviour was 'a millionaire’s version of trolling.'

Mr Gilmore states:

'I suppose the obvious place to start is with Seth Finkelstein’s trolls. (Of course he is doing what he accuses me of — making outrageous statements and then chuckling when people take them seriously).'

Professor Lessig states:

''Reason, not power, should be in charge always, but especially now."



In a new comment, Mr Seth Finkelstein replies to both Professor Lessig and Mr Gilmore. Mr Finkelstein states: 'My sins have come back to haunt me. John Gilmore has a front-page post on Lessig's blog, where he rebuts criticism of his actions in part by trashing me as a troll.'

    Just check out www.stalkedbyseth.com I suppose Mr. Gilmore can now expect to become one of Seth's many imagined persecuters now

    My understanding is there are two sides to the Stalked By Seth story.... You should know better, Anonymous Coward, than to believe everything you read on the internet.
